Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post started by Breaking the Spine to showcase books we are patiently awaiting.

My WoW for the week:

Blurb:

Catch a professional assassin: top priority. Find a
failure-to-appear and collect big bucks: top score. How she’ll pull it all off:
top secret.

Trenton, New Jersey’s favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy
Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships.
Now he’s out on bail and has missed his date in court, and bounty hunter
Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead
ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city’s
hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s
whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures.
So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesn’t want to do:
protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy
Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Poletti’s bookkeeper and knows all
his boss’s dirty secrets. Now Briggs is next on Poletti’s list of people to put
six feet under.

To top things off, Ranger—resident security expert and
Stephanie’s greatest temptation—has been the target of an assassination plot.
He’s dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next
attempt on his life, he’ll have to enlist Stephanie’s help and reveal a bit
more of his mysterious past.

Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained
assassins, and Stark Street being overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all
in a day’s work for Stephanie Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her
Grandma Mazur’s wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe
Morelli’s Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what’s number one on the
list—but that’s top secret.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly post started by Breaking the Spine to showcase books we are patiently awaiting.

My WoW for the week:

Supernatural superhero Rachel Morgan must counter a strange
magic that could spell civil war for the Hollows in this sexy and bewitching
urban fantasy adventure in acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Kim
Harrison's Hollows series.

Witch and day-walking demon Rachel Morgan has managed to
save the demonic ever after from shrinking, but at a high cost. Now, strange
magic is attacking Cincinnati and the Hollows, causing spells to backfire or go
horribly wrong, and the truce between the races, between Inderlander and human,
is shattering. Rachel must stop this dark necromancy before the undead vampire
masters who keep the rest of the undead under control are lost and all-out
supernatural war breaks out.

Rachel knows of only weapon to ensure the peace: ancient
elven wild magic, which carries its own perils. And no one knows better than
Rachel that no good deed goes unpunished . . .

My WoW for the week:

The first in an all-new urban fantasy series by USA Today
bestseller Jaye Wells.

The last thing patrol cop Kate Prospero expected to find on
her nightly rounds was a werewolf covered in the blood of his latest victim.
But then, she also didn't expect that shooting him would land her in the
crosshairs of a Magic Enforcement Agency task force, who wants to know why she
killed their lead snitch.

The more Prospero learns about the dangerous new potion the
MEA is investigating, the more she's convinced that earning a spot on their
task force is the career break she's been wanting. But getting the assignment
proves much easier than solving the case. Especially once the investigation
reveals their lead suspect is the man she walked away from ten years earlier-on
the same day she swore she'd never use dirty magic again.

Kate Prospero's about to learn the hard way that crossing a
wizard will always get you burned, and that when it comes to magic, you should
be never say never.

My WoW for the week:

Jane Eliot wears an iron mask.

It's the only way to contain the fey curse that scars her
cheek. The Great War is five years gone, but its scattered victims remain - the
ironskin.

When a carefully worded listing appears for a governess to
assist with a "delicate situation" -
a child born during the Great War - Jane is certain the child is fey-cursed,
and that she can help.

Teaching the unruly Dorie to suppress her curse is hard enough;
she certainly didn't expect to fall for the girl's father, the enigmatic artist
Edward Rochart. But her blossoming crush is stifled by her scars and by his
parade of women. Ugly women, who enter his closed studio...and come out as
beautiful as the fey.

Jane knows Rochart cannot love her, just as she knows that
she must wear iron for the rest of her life. But what if neither of these
things are true? Step by step Jane unlocks the secrets of a new life - and
discovers just how far she will go to become whole again.

My WoW for the week:

Justice is blind. Justine isn't. Book two in the Saturn's
Daughter series, in which Tina Clancy is gifted with the power to dispense
justice...for good or evil.

Tina Clancy is adapting to her new life as one of Saturn's
Daughters while living in the toxic part of Baltimore known as The Zone, and
occasionally acting as a champion of the downtrodden, the weird, the
innocent...and the sometimes not-so-innocent.

Just when she finally lands a
real law job, the Zone is blasted by poisonous gas and her sometimes-boyfriend
starts receiving visitors from Hell. He's none too pleased about that, or in
Tina having sent his granny to Hell in his place. For that matter, neither is
granny...
